The key elements of racks and dryers exposed to corrosion (such as frames, levels, angles or shelves, as well as depot lockers structures) are made of high-quality galvanised steel. During the final stage of production, all elements are subject to automated powder coating. Galvanised steel and a thick layer of coating provide double protection for the products against moisture. In addition, the rack structures have been designed to prevent water accumulation inside the

The main rack and dryer models are available in four different visual options which differ in the design of the front column. The Standard line is featured by a classic anthracite frontside, whilst the MiniPanel line by a modern white panel with a contrasting solid handle. The Panel line is distinguished by a wide, elegant board with an oval stainless-steel handle attached to it; the UniQ line offers unlimited possibilities for the selection of materials, which includes a delicate casing of a wide front column with a comfortable inner handle. The choice of different visual lines enables QBL products to be properly matched to the interior design and character of the facility in which they are used.

QBL products are designed to allow, as much as possible, for the individual components to be adapter to the types and sizes of equipment they store. Thanks to smart functional solutions, adapting the location of the forks, adjusting the mounting height of the levels, shelves or aluminium crossbars is very simple and intuitive. Adjustment systems mean optimal use of the available space – which translates directly into increased storage capacity.

The fork-based system is the most capacious way to store skis. The forks are made of 3mm-thick steel and four steel tubes to hang the skis on. The surface of the forks is covered with a rubber coat, which has anti-slip properties and effectively protects them from scratches. The forks are fixed at any distance on the steel levels – allowing maximum use of the available space on the rack. The structure has been designed in such a way that, thanks to the gentle slope of the steel tubes, the risk of equipment falling out during dynamic movement or collision of the racks is reduced. Each fork can safely store two to three pairs of senior skis.

Shelves are the main component of some products, but they are also a very useful optional accessory for virtually every model of the rack. Thanks to their design and dimensions, they are perfect for storing helmets, boots and many other accessories. Additionally, the solution of mounting them at a slight angle reduces the risk of equipment falling out when the racks are dynamically moved or collided. With the adjustment systems in the racking columns, the mounting heights of the shelves and the spacing between them can be adapted to the size of the equipment stored. The edges of the shelves have been rounded off to avoid stripping the equipment and to prevent hand injuries when taking boots from the rack. The shelves are made of highquality 1.5mm galvanised steel and are powder-coated.

The running system of QBL products includes a rail set or a set of swivel casters. The rail set consists of stainless steel rails 2 or 3mm thick (depending on the length of the racks), connectors, rail endings, and 12 standard bearings attached to each frame of rack or dryer. The design of the rails and the number of bearings used guarantee smooth and safe movement of the products – even when fully loaded. The set of swivel casters includes four durable casters (with a diameter of 75, 80 or 125mm) which are selected according to the needs and the maximum possible load on the structure.

All racks and dryers in the rail system are equipped with a structural frame made of 3mm-thick steel, which is their load-bearing base and ensures the rigidity and stability of the entire system. The frame also acts as a running structure, ensuring safe and even guidance of products on the rails. The frame is double protected against corrosion – it is made of galvanised steel and covered with a layer of powder coating.

Racks and dryers with an open interior of the frame can be optionally equipped with a steel tub with a rubber mat, which serves for collecting water and dirt dripping from stored skis, snowboards or dried boots. The tub is made of galvanised steel, thus maintaining its resistance to corrosion. Adjusting the structure to the frames of the racks and dryers allows for easy removal and emptying. The use of the tub reduces moisture and dirt on the floor and in the area of the rail system.
